Questions about Genjyuu Gothic
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Genjyuu Gothic free for commercial use?
Yes. Genjyuu Gothic is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Source”.
How do I download and install Genjyuu Gothic?
FontKind doesn’t host Genjyuu Gothic’s files: it isn’t on Google Fonts, and comes free from Fontsource , a library of open fonts. On its page there, choose Get font, then Download complete family, and unzip the file: it holds desktop fonts for every weight and style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install. For a website, npm install @fontsource/genjyuu-gothic adds it in one line.
Is Genjyuu Gothic in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Genjyuu Gothic isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Genjyuu Gothic Thin and Genjyuu Gothic Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Genjyuu Gothic in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Genjyuu Gothic comes from Fontsource. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Genjyuu Gothic in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Genjyuu Gothic comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Genjyuu Gothic have?
Genjyuu Gothic comes in seven weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900).
